The DLs in Richmond never planned their drivers so far as I know. It wasn't worth the hassle of making enemies with DLs/planners in other areas....
See if your DL will give you their cell number. Mine encouraged her best drivers to text her if they needed something on the weekend (during...
I'm sure Jonestown will have something you could pick up for the Walmart blitz out of the DC in Williamsburg. They're crazy this time of year.
Made better by the fact that other Swift trucks like to park across from the docks. I've had to blindside every load to that store.
That Costco in Norfolk is a pain to deliver to. Look at the dock setup and you'll see why. Take 664 out of Norfolk - it's farther but there's a...
I know of a certain run that Swift did that paid (paid Swift, anyhow) $980 for an easy 240 mile round trip, 30 loads in a slow week, 50+ in a busy...
I have a pixel 3 xl and I could never get any notification for dial in. Tried everything.
Is the CMC account the flatbed account that hauls a lot of rebar and steel with a lot of drop and hooks? Mostly Southwest? If so I've heard good...
Cleaned my truck out Monday. No complaints with Swift. Safe travels to my fellow Swifties.
One of those Costcos doesn't allow overnight parking at all, another "prefers you not park there" and the one in Homestead allows overnight...
Good luck on your future adventures. Plenty of great places to work out there.
I hate the interior of the 16-17 Freightliners. The 18s aren't much better.
Swift has a "Northeast regional" that runs the area north of VA and East of Columbus, OH. I believe you're home on the weekends but not 100% sure.
Been running Costco dedicated out of Monrovia, MD while some stuff on my regular dedicated gets sorted out. Gotta say, this isn't for me. Driving...
Yep. Nice Loves in a great spot. Hate that Food Lion DC though. Guess you're probably headed to Suffolk to Cal Cartage or Williamsburg to Walmart...
They've got a real hard on for idling right now. Your DM probably doesn't care as long as you're a productive driver that puts in decent mileage....
Part of the reason for the scarcity of empty trailers is that a lot of terminals lock down a huge pool of empties for UPS and Walmart. This is...
Wrong. I've personally had Costco DMs void me off a load so they could try to take my empty.
I think the unofficial idle policy is < 50% idle time (so 12 hours/day, essentially). I've idled for days at a time and never heard anything.
Knight has some terminals in good locations (Lebanon, TN near Nashville and Charlotte, NC come to mind) but they're very small and would be...
